Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Sadly my father passed away yesterday and in less than 24 hours the midtown team for Van Orsdel helped me organize the pick up of my father at his residence to walking us through the steps for cremation. Frank helped us with the paperwork and next steps. He was kind and very thoughtful. Treated us like people and not just dollar signs. I can't recommend this place enough. Really helped take some of the hard work off my plate.”
